Ingredients

Ingredients of Butter Chicken

700 gm Raw Chicken

For The Marinade:

2tspMultipurpose Healthy Green Paste

½cupcurd

8-10 leavesMint/Pudina

For The Gravy:

2tspOlive Oilextra virgin

2-3leavesbay leaf

2-3mediumonionsgrated

5-6mediumtomatoesgrated/Pureed

½tspsugar

1tspfoodalltime garam masala

2tspMultipurpose Healthy Green Paste

2-4piecescashews(optional)(it adds some major creaminess to the sauce)

Recipe Notes

– You can add whipped cream to the gravy before serving…but that will only add to your calories. So instead I’ve added quite a few cashews to the gravy, which adds some major creaminess to the sauce making it thick, and doesn’t add inches to my waistline! I too can eat it without feeling guilty.

– I personally recommend bone-in chicken because keeping in mind all the adulterated items that are hitting the market like…plastic cabbage, plastic rice, synthetic milk. We now also have plastic chicken! A bone-in chicken will at least ensure that you eat authentic chicken. Also, you can gather some bones for your dogs! Besides, boneless chicken may become dry and rubbery. If you do insist on using boneless chicken, make sure you use ‘chicken thighs’ ONLY! They will remain juicy and flavorful!

– Try not to skip the Kasuri Methi because in my opinion, that is what sort of gives the chicken that restaurant style taste and adds a bit of smokiness to it which I simply love! A little goes a long way! If you absolutely don’t have access to it, you can substitute it with actually smoking yours.

– This chicken will be orange-ish in colour which is the real colour of Butter Chicken. Beware! Anybody who is passing off red gravy as butter chicken to you is just adding artificial colouring to it, stuff that you should stay away from.
